Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Luo Tong Royal City

The front of the treasure map was actually a drawing of a monkey! 

While Huang Xiaolong pondered about the significance of the drawing on the map, the little violet monkey ran to him and became visibly excited when he saw the map. Seeing the little monkey's reaction, Huang Xiaolong became even more baffled.

Could this treasure map be related to the little violet monkey?

Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong heard an anguished scream; turning his head in the direction of the scream, he saw Fei Hou in his Silver River martial spirit form throw a powerful punch at Chen Feng's chest, causing it to collapse.

A heartbeat later, a long sword flew out of the silver-colored river and went straight into Chen Feng's throat.

Chen Feng looked down and saw that a long sword had pierced through his throat, with red blood dripping to the ground.

He looked up, only to see Fei Hou holding the other end of the sword. His mouth opened and closed a few times, and suddenly he dashed towards Fei Hou. But, after two steps his body tumbled and he fell to the ground.

Fei Hou cast a cold glance at Chen Feng's body before walking towards Huang Xiaolong. His expression became weird when he saw the so-called treasure map, and he said in a somber tone, "Sovereign, this treasure map was left behind by a powerful demonic beast cultivator."

"A Demonic Beast cultivator!" Huang Xiaolong was shocked. 

"Yes, Sovereign. The words on the other side of the treasure map are written in the beast language." said Fei Hou as he pointed to the back of the map.

Hearing that, Huang Xiaolong turned the over map and saw that a strange mountain resembling an elephant was drawn on the other side of the map. And at the bottom were several lines of unusual patterns that seemed to be the beast language Fei Hou was talking about.

Suddenly, the little monkey pointed at the writings and gestured at Huang Xiaolong.

"Little guy, are you saying that you understand what's written here?" Huang Xiaolong asked.

"Zhi zhi zhi!" The little violet monkey nodded, then it shook its little head.

Huang Xiaolong continued asking the little monkey for a while, but in the end, he still got nothing. Helpless, he put the map in his ring. Although he currently didn't know the location of the strange elephant-like mountain, nor could he yet decipher the writing, he was certain that the treasure map was related to the little Violet Spirit Devourer Monkey who traveled with him.

As Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou began to dispose of the corpses lying around, Huang Xiaolong found a high-grade Mysterious rank exercise law on Chen Feng's corpse called Black Moon Art. Other than that, he also found some gold coins and dans on him.

Everything went into Huang Xiaolong's Asura Ring.

Even though the high-grade Mysterious rank exercise law was useless to him, he could auction it to fetch a good sum, especially for those clans like the Huang Clan Manor that only had low-grade exercise laws of similar same rank.

Moments later, Huang Xiaolong, Fei Hou, and the little violet monkey left the place.

...

Very quickly another two months had passed.

During these past two months, a man, a child, and a monkey continued to travel even deeper into Silvermoon Forest. Huang Xiaolong's level had improved so much that he was already a half-step into Sixth Order and he could breakthrough at any time.

He worked hard at training the Tears of Asura, and its power had gone up by several folds and the only thing left were the meridians required for the Body Metamorphose Scripture's Fourth Stage – Convert Power of the Stars which had yet to open up.

Reaching higher levels of the Body Metamorphose Scripture got harder with each stage until it reached twelve stage. However, in his previous life, Huang Xiaolong had gotten to stage nine of the Body Metamorphose Scripture so this time starting all over again was actually easier.

Night came, and moonlight covered the continent.

If you looked up at the moon while staying within the Silvermoon Forest, the moon would appear to be basked in silver, giving the forest its name.

Under the silvery moonlight, Huang Xiaolong had his right hand held high above his head, his left hand behind him on his waist and he continuously breathed according to a particular rhythm. His internal force circulated within his body and gathered in his dantian.

A few feet away, Fei Hou didn't know what to think of Huang Xiaolong's odd postures. He had never heard of anyone on the Snow Wind Continent who had to twist themselves in order to practice a battle qi exercise law.

Night gradually receded and the bright sun rose in the sky.

Huang Xiaolong stopped his practice and two people and a monkey once again continued their journey, killing demonic beasts along the way while practicing battle skills.

Five days later, Huang Xiaolong, Fei Hou, and the little monkey finally left the Silvermoon Forest and traveled along a forest trail.

Having spent four months training in Silvermoon Forest, Huang Xiaolong decided to head to the nearest city for a change of scenery.

Following the forest trail down the hill for a few hours, they finally saw a large city.

This city was far bigger than the Canglan County where Huang Clan Manor was situated. Looking at the city from afar, the city walls were about thirty meters high with a towering entrance and there was a moat of gray water before the city walls.

With the huge city up ahead, Huang Xiaolong was delighted and quickened his pace. As he got nearer to the gates, he saw written above the gates: Lou Tong Royal City.

"Luo Tong Royal City!" Huang Xiaolong was dazed for a moment when he saw the words-- this is the Luo Tong Kingdom's Royal City! He had actually reached the Royal City!

"Sovereign!" Huang Xiaolong came to his senses when Fei Hou called to him.

"Shall we enter into the city now?" He asked.

"Let's go into the city!" He replied to Fei Hou with excitement. Just like when he was back on Earth, he felt happy on arriving at the capital city.

Before they could go in, a guard at the gate pulled the two of them to one side, looked them up and down before he asked: "Admission fees, ten gold coins per person!"

Ten gold coins are enough for a common household one month's expenses!

At this time, a young man and woman riding a Stage Four Flame Beast mount swaggered into the city. The guards at the gate didn't block them but instead bowed deeply as they passed by.

Huang Xiaolong's expression turned cold, and pointed at the two people who had just passed by: "Why don't they have to pay admission fees?"

The Guard Captain sneered, "Them? They are members of the Marquis Household's Miss Lin and Young Master Lin; they are nobles. Do you know what nobles are? Of course, they needn't pay admission fees when entering and exiting through city gates! How can you lowly outsider common folks from the outside be equivalent to Miss Lin and Young Master Lin!"

It seemed like, these guards judged that he and Fei Hou were common folks by their clothes.

Huang Xiaolong frowned; outsider common folks entering the city need to pay ten gold coins, whereas nobles are free to enter and exit.

Suddenly, from the distant mountain came the sound of many beasts running as tremors on the ground reached the gates so Huang Xiaolong turned to look. There were about twelve or more people riding on a Stage Four Horned Rhino racing towards the gates. Judging from their speed, they would reach the gates very soon, but none of them showed any intention of slowing down.

Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou were standing before the gates in the middle of the road going into the city, and if they didn't get out of the way on time, Huang Xiaolong would be sent flying from the impact of the charging beasts.

When the Guard Captain saw the young man in a yellow robe leading the pack, he panicked and immediately hid in a corner. 

"Young Master Meng is back, quickly move aside! Move aside!" It was obvious that he was extremely afraid of this yellow robed young man. 


Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Notify The Duke’s Mansion

Seeing that both Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou had ignored his loud warning and remained standing in the middle of the pathway, The captain of the guards stopped yelling and decided that he couldn't be bothered. The lives of two penniless commoners didn't matter even if they died. Things like this happened every other day in the Luo Tong Kingdom, it was nothing new.

A blood-thirsty light flickered in the eyes of the yellow-robed young man, Meng Xia, and he urged his mount to go even faster when he saw that two people were blocking his way.

While the guards looked on with frightened expressions on their faces, Meng Xia's Horned Rhino had gotten to Huang Xiaolong, and in just a matter of seconds, Huang Xiaolong would have been sent flying from the impact. At the last second, Fei Hou moved. A long sword had already appeared in his hand, and with a swing of his arm, many rays of sword light danced out.

"Roar!" the bloodcurdling screams from the Horned Rhinos were heard and then everyone noticed that the Horned Rhino was no longer charging forward; its legs could no longer support its weight and it tumbled forward. Blood spurted from its body like a geyser eruption and Meng Xia was thrown off its back. 

The Horned Rhinos following behind were no exception; once they had reached within ten meters of Huang Xiaolong, they all tumbled with blood spurting from their wounds and their riders were thrown off.

The beasts wails lasted for a short while and as the tremors ceased, only the moans of the yellow-robed young man could be heard. The Guard Captain and the other guards were stunned at the sight of the fallen Horned Rhinos' twitching in a pool of their own blood.

The Guard Captain felt his throat dry up as he stared at Fei Hou in horror.

Finally, Meng Xia, the yellow-robed young man, got up with difficulty and was extremely angered when he saw his beloved mount lying in a pool of blood.

Pointing at Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou in anger, he yelled, "Rebels! Rebels! You cheap lowly commoners dared to kill my mount, you deserve to die! Kill them for me! No wait! First, cut off their hands, then their legs and feed it to the dogs!"

The yellow-robed young man's guards crawled up, and when they heard their young master's order, they quickly pulled out their swords and rushed up together. In Royal City, only they harassed the commoners and never the other way round; yet today, they didn't know from where these two crept out that they actually dared to kill their mounts!

The attacks from the guards were ruthless; each slash was intended to maim. It seemed that they planned to first cut off Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou's arms and then the legs.

Fei Hou's eyes turned cold and snorted. He stood still as he raised up his sword and once again waved it sending out sharp rays of sword light which snaked through the group of incoming guards. An agonizing scream sounded every time a light flickered.

Before the very eyes of the city gate guards, a flurry of arms shot up to the sky and before falling to the ground.

"My hand, my hand!"

"My hand's cut off!"

The guards cried out in pain.

Initially, the angered yellow-robed young man who ordered his guards to dismember Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou stiffened, followed by fear, and panic.

Fei Hou walked slowly walked over his direction.

Terrified, the yellow-robed Meng Xia retreated, saying "You fellows are just a bunch of dirty, worthless nobodies, what do you think are doing?! I am the young master of the Duke's Mansion! If you dare hurt even a strand of my hair, you will die like dogs!" He wasn't bluffing, someone once wounded him just slightly, and both the man and his entire family of more than a hundred people were killed.

"Hurt a strand of your hair?" Fei Hou expression remained unchanged.

Without warning, Fei Hou's sword suddenly slashed out and a ray of sword light swirled around Meng Xia's head. Meng Xia shrieked in fright, his body quivering, as Fei Hou sheathed his long sword; then, Huang Xiaolong noticed an acrid smell. Looking at the yellow-robed young man, Huang Xiaolong saw the lower half of his body was wet.

Urine flowed down as he screamed.

Seeing a Duke Mansion disciple act so cowardly, he smirked saying, "Little brat, don't worry, I won't kill you. You aren't dead yet!"

When the young man heard that, he opened his eyes and realized that his head was still attached and his was neck is fine too. Only his hair was shaved off by Fei Hou's sword and he had become bald!

A breeze blew past, and his scalp felt cold.

Meng Xia's heart seemed to shiver uncontrollably like it was going to burst out from his chest, his back dampened by cold sweat.

"The next time you insult my Young Master, calling him a dirty commoner, it won't be just your hair. I will cut away your scalp layer by layer!" said Fei Hou as he stared coldly at the young man, letting the words sink in one by one.

Meng Xia stood there dazedly; he had been frightened senseless by Fei Hou using a sword to shave off his hair. Fei Hou went back to Huang Xiaolong, and asked, "Young Master, are you alright?"

"I'm okay." Huang Xiaolong nodded and said, "Let's go, we enter the city!" He turned and walked towards the city gates. When he passed by the Guard Captain, he stopped and with a cold expression, he asked, "Do you still want admission fees?"

The Guard Captain immediately knelt down, begging for mercy: "No no no no, don't want! Little Ancestor, mercy, spare my life!"

He was so frightened that he even used the honorific 'Little Ancestor' when addressing Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong asked yet another question, "Am I still a lowly dirty commoner?"

The Guard Captain shook his head vigorously, shaking his hands: "No, no, no, Little Ancestor, you are the highest of nobility, a true noble!"

"If I'm a noble, then what about him?" asked Huang Xiaolong as he suddenly pointed at the yellow-robed young man whose robes were still dripping with piss.

The Guard Captain face reddened not knowing how to answer and Fei Hou glared at him.

The glare made the Guard Captain weak with fright, his butt muscles loosened and he let out a loud fart, before quickly saying, "He, he is the dirty cheap commoner!" The moment the words left his mouth he almost wanted to die; as a Guard Captain he actually dared utter such blasphemy against a young master of the Duke household! If the matter spread to the Duke's ears, he would definitely lose his job, but he wondered if his life could be kept.

"What about you?" asked Huang Xiaolong.

"I'm a dog; I'm just a dog!" With his face as a pale as a white sheet, the Guard Captain answered and kept repeating it, over and over again.

Huang Xiaolong expression turned indifferent as he turned around and walked away, continuing towards the city with Fei Hou following at his side.

The moment Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou's silhouettes had gone far away, the Guard Captain's legs gave out, he sat his arse on the ground with an ugly expression, as if he had just swallowed dog shit.

The other guards looked at him with concern; one them came to his side and whispered, "Captain, about Young Master Meng Xia… Should we inform the Duke's Mansion?"

All this time, the yellow-robed young man still stood in a daze on the same spot and around him were all the guards who lost their arms still moaning in pain.

"Inform the Duke's Mansion?" Hearing this, the Guard Captain jumped up: "Yes, yes , yes, inform the Duke's Mansion!" At this time the Guard Captain's eyes burned with hatred staring at Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou's receding figure. "You dirty commoners actually dared to hurt the Duke Mansion's Young Master; I will let you taste the consequences!"

At this moment, Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou had already stepped into the city.

"Young Master, don't worry. A Duke Mansion? Nothing will happen." Fei Hou assured Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong nodded his head. He knew that since Fei Hou had acted like this, it meant that he had aces under his sleeves. Even though he didn't intend to rely solely on Fei Hou's strength, since Fei Hou said so, then he was sure nothing would happen.
